SATURDAY. APRIL 4. 1863.
Clnircli’s Painting's.
Frederic Edwin Church, one of the best of Ameri
can lanscape painters, who is a fine colorist as well
as frithful copyist of nature, may be considered as
legitimate successor of Thomas Cole, whose pupil it
wan his advantage to have been. He is more poeti
cal, more imaginative than his master, wlio; by the
way, worked in this city, forty years ago, literally
for his -bre ad, painting little pictures lor small prices,
and filling.up his time, (hir. Noble, his biographer
tells us,) by “ornamenting with figures, views,
birds, and various articles, such as bellows,
brushes, and : Japan-ware.” . Mr. Church’s career,
has been less chequered. Ten years ago, in his
twenty-seven th year, Mr. Church went on an art
pilgrimage to South America, and, on his return,
hia pictures showed how closely he had studied the
gieftt mistress,-Nature. No artist has painted
tropical scenery half so well. This he showed by
> various works, chief among which is “ The Heart
of the Andes,”..'painted after his second visit to
South America, ih f 1857, and exhibited in this city
some three or four years ago.
In 1857, Mr. Cfiurch also painted, what has given
him high reputation in Europe, a view -of,Niagara
from the Canadian side; taken, in fact, from Table
Rock. It is a view which no artißt can exactly imi
tate,- seeing that Table Rock is now of the past.
This yiewoftlte Great or Horseshoe Fall has been
exhibited in Philadelphia, and is known to those
who have not seen the original by the cbromo-litho
graphic print of it, executed by Mr. Risden, of Lon
don.' The/originah painting is. the,property of .Mr.
Johnson, of New York.
A companion-picture, painted last year, carries
out Mr. Church’s ideaof showing to the world—non-.
travelled as«wcH travelled—the greatest wonder of
this Western Continent. He has on view, at W. P.
Hazard’s, 724 Chestnut street, his second picture of
Niagara,- from under the fall—that is, as nearly un
der'it as he could proceed in the little Maid of the
Mist steamer, now destroyed. The view takes in,
■from the left, just where the Tallis broken by Goat.
Island, and terminates, at the right, where the. inner
bend of the horseshoe commences. The vtower,
which seems to overhang “ the hell of waters,” is
shown, of course; but the great point in the picture
is.thefaU itself, in varied tints from shadowy gray
to ocean green, and its precipitous drop into the
abyss far below./ This is reality, and poetry as well.
Of this fine painting, the property of Marshall O.
Roberts, Esq., New York, a companion "engraving,
in chromo-lithography, iB now being executed in
London by Mr. Risden.
At Mr. Hazard's is-aisb: to be seen a wonderfully
fine engraving of the first great work that may be
said to have given recognized reputation to its au
thor. “|Thc Heart of the Andes,” with itfl great,
variety of color, is jv picture to which one could
scarcely hope the burin could ever do justice. The
bright tints and sun-gleams of the tropics, so charm
ingly given in this painting, are not easily simulated
by the graver, and few but artists can comprehend the
difficulty of representing these glo wing hues on paper
in plain blackand white. The example Of Turner’s
pictures does not avail here; for in' many .cases the
engraver really had to give body to what the painter
had merely indicatedf But Mr. Church unites the
greatest breadth' with the utmost pre-Raphaelite ac
curacy of detail; In the picture we refer to, the
foreground exhibits a wild luxuriance of vegetation,
-painted with a delicate would have de
lighted Holman Hunt or Millais, whereas, one
the mighty Andes, sublime in the shadowy gran
deur that illustrates its-vaßtness-, looms out in the
distance a stupendous back-ground, such as mere
fancy never could have invented;
“Its head in wintry grandeur towers,
And whitens with eternal si eet,
While Summer, in a vale of flowers,
Lies sleeping, rosy at its feet.”'
The engraver who has -translated “The Heart of
the Andes,”' in this admirable- manner, ia William
Forrest, foremost among the : artists of Scotland.
He was- three yearß occupied upon this one plate,
and we have heard that his labors averaged twelve
hours aUay,—so that averaging.-each year’s work at
three hundred-days,; the time devoted to this en
graving was close on 11,000- hours* If the work had
been* performed by machinery and; by stipple,: or dot
work, aij&engraving of -the same: size might have
been with- comr>araU.ve_ nina_
But-thpnr */£6e^.sure,,it ; would have been
merely ashowy, unafti'sfieal affair, instead of being,
As it is, the'finest* iircc engraving of a landscape that
modern art has produced. ‘ On. a careful exami-•
nation with a magnifying glasswe- notice only two
deviations from this high style-of art. In-the fore-
where, the water’s precipitous descent over
a.tall pile'of r6cks makes a cascade, the smoke-like
Bpray is represented by-stipple,;—the faetr being that
lines .could not express'it, and that, in
"the dots really are brokeri lines. Again, on the top
of the extreme lefr, is a-Bmall-patch of clear sky,
and on examination, leads us to think
; ;that,i perhaps, its lines; were .ruled in by the.
machine,—but; of this we have'some doubt. The
has reproduced the painting, and so faith-,
'fully that sometimes, snatching-a grace beyond the
rules of art, almost convey&theidba of the artist’s
color. -We.; especially see*this-in the foreground of
..the extfems : right, where .flowers,, ferns,. and grasses,,
almost seem to glow-wit-k.their native hues,—in the.
reposes,—in the
bright parts; surrounding-ithe- theway-aide,
and in the gray obscurity, of the distant hills. Mr.
W. Forrest haß so welL-executed this plate that he
is engaged to engrave,-as a-companion print, another
of-Mr. Church’s South. American We
I have only to add that Mr. John McClure, of New
! York,-is the■■pubudeher- of “The Heart of the
1 Andes,” and that it. may be subscribed for at W. P.
Hazai;d’_s;;724 Cheßtmit street, where specimens of
the engraving are-on view.
New Books.
Kake O’DosfNEL’s -Po-ems.—ln a booklet, rather
than a book, 0ff73.. pages, 24m0.,we here have some
poetic effusions, of; a very young man, who possesses
no small ability, without, aB yet, practically know
ing how to employ it. He has the fault, which time
will tone down, of b&ng too ambitious. He some
times aims at being metaphysical and philosophical,:
which is as if a boy should; seek to run before he
can walk. He. is fond of stilted language. He is
not careful in his rhymes; for example, when he
putß lull-as a corresponding sound to bar carol; towns
to bounds;, curb to barb; bled to made; ponderesl to
tenderest -ydawn to gone, and so on. What is worth
doing at all, is worth doing well; and he who writes
rhymed verse should have none but good rhymes,
the finding which is the easiest part of versification.
The principal'poem here, “The Song of Iron,” is
thoughtful and true, albeit somewhat spun out. To
our own taste, however, the simplest stanzas here
are the best. , Mr. O’Donnel shows us, in his “Par
radiseAlley,” what he "could do in a mirthful vein
if he would only condescend to dig such an ore. The
best poem here is “ The Childsurely, a lovely
portrait/Here is a little gem which poets who
have won fame might be proud to claim: .
g GO, DEAREST, GO,
:■ Go, dearesti go: I cannot chido, but linger
i Like some wild passion on an earnest song,
' The melting music of a lovelorn singer:
Go, dearest, go; but do not tarry long. -
5 Go, tho : the rosy hours are pale without thee,
I Absent from thee the night is drear and dark,
j When all is heaVcn within thee and about thee,
/ , And hope sings cheerly as the morning lark.
Go, dearest, go ; hut if khou hear’st a calling
. . Low in thy gentlo heart, a dove-like song,
Come to me, come; the silent tears are falling:
Go, dearest, go; but do not tarry long.
School-Books.— Barnes & Burr, New York pub’
lishers, have a well-merited reputation for their su
perior school-bookß. Their most recent issues are
“Practical Arithmetic: embracing the Science and
of Numbers,” by Professor Charles
Davies, of Columbia. College, N.Y., an authorwho,
/not alone ; in the higher mathematics," but in his
arithmetical: series for schools and academies, has
done more than perhaps any other scientific writer
to make the science of numbers plain and practical
to youth. The present volume, in which the unit 1
is regarded as .the base of every number, completes
the series, and is at once scientific .and
Another useful volume, by A3phonso Wood, Princi-"
pal of the Female Academy, Brooklyn, and author
of a popular “ Class Book of Botany,” is entitled
“Leaves and Flowers; or, Object Lessons in Bo
tany : with a Flora.” This, volume has .665 illustra
tions, and is intended for beginners Jn Academies
and Public Seliools. Nothing can be clearer than
the' information conveyed in'this book, which is
largely owing ;to the engraved representations of
the objects described, and there ds scarcely any
science more worthy of being thus brought home, as
it were, to the intellect of young and oia* The
Flora is astonishingly complete, for the space it oc
cupies. The difficulty of the science in its nomencla
ture, composed from dead and.living languages, and
including a .vast number of difficult and many sylla
bled words. „ However, this nomenclature is framed
upon such a very simple system, that any one hav
ing even a moderate acquaintance with Latin and
Greek can readily comprehend it. The difficulty
really is rather to the eye than to the mind.
Arbitrary Arrests ik Tins South.— Mr. R. S.
Tharin,.a native of Charleston, for thirty years a
resident in the Cotton States, and unpopular there,
since the war broke out, as an Alabama "Unionist,
has puthiß experiences into a small volume pub
lished by J. Bradburn, .New York. He was former
ly law P&itner of.the notorious Mr. Yancey, and
was persecuted, tried, and punished in Alabama be
cause of his fidelity to the Unions Unfortunately,
his book is not well.written,And his account of what
he suffered is painful rather than interesting.
Victor Hugo’s Waterloo.— One of the most
striking episodes in “ Les Misdrables,” is the bril
liant account /of the Battle of Waterloo. Mr. J.
Bradburn, a New York publisher, has separated this
from the text; and produced it in 16mo. form. It oc
cupies 76 pageß, and. iB well worth being read and
studied, as a French view of a very memorable
event that changed the destinies of Europe.
Dr. Junkin’s Pouti oal Fallacies.— The Kov.
Geore Junltinj' a Pennsylvanian man, President of
Washington College, Lexington, Va., was a Union
ist when, in April, 1861, the students and some of,
the faculty hoisted a Southern flag upon the college
building, and immediately resigned the office which
he had there held for twelve years, and returned to
his native State. He has since employed himself in
writing a book to expose the . political fallacies,
whether false assumptions or sophistical reasons,
that have : brought;on this civil war.‘ Dr. Junkin'
does hot argue closely,' but he has great command of
historical facts. Writing for the many, he wisely
uses the plainest,-which is also'the most forBible r
language, and his pages are crowded'with illustra
tions. The Doctor has hopes that the Union maybe*
restored—he repudiates the term “reconstruction”’
as applied to it—and even anticipates that “ all the*
nations of the world may yet form one grand Repub
lic under the stars'and stripeß.” Indeed, w'e may
almost take for'granted that ere another century
has passed Republicanism will be the general rule,
and Monarchy the exception. This volume is pub
lished by C. Sctfbncr, New York, and sold, here by

General Butler was tendered, a grand reception, at
the New York Academy of Music, on’ Thursday
evening, by the members and friendH of the Union
League of that city. The tremendous auditorium
was densely crowded with both ladies and gentle
men, and the greatest enthusiasm and good feeling
prevailed during the evening;.
After thanking Mayor Opdyke and the members
of the Union League for the honor conferred in
tendering him a public reception of such magnifi
cence, General Butler proceeded to review the his
tory of the rise and progress of the rebellion at some
length. We are sorry that our limited space will
not permit us to reproduce the whole speech for the
readers of The Tress, but we are gratified to present
the salient points of the address this morning:
,WHY\GEN. butler sustains the government.
I sm an old Andrew Jackson Democrat of tweutv years
standing [Applause and three cheers for the old hero
of New Orleans. 1 And so far as I. know I have never
swerved from his teachings. [Applause. ] Up to the
time when disunion took place I went as far as the far
therest in support of the constitutional rights of the
-South’, however bitter or* distasteful to me were the obli
gations which my fathers assumed for me in the compro
mues of the. Constitution. They made them all. and it
was not for meto reject thebitter. - X took them all. [Ap
plause.] Fellow Democrats, I took every one because
they were constituted obligations [applaise], and taking
each and all, I stood by the South and Southern rights
nnderthe Constitution, until I advanced and looked inlo
the pit of disunion, and, not ltkingthe prospect, quietly
Withdrew. [Laughterand applause.] We went apart
from that hour, and we are forever apart. You may
judge of>this when I say that on the 2Sth of December,
1860, I shook bands on terms of friendship with Jefferson
Davis, and on the 2Sth of Do:embeivlBt>2, I had the plea
sure of reading his proclamation that I was to be hung
at sight [Laughter and applause.]
And now, my friends, if you will allow me this .line
ofthought a moment, as we come up to the point of time
when these men laid down their constitutional obliga
tions, I will inquire what were mv rights and what
were theirs? At that hour they repudiated the Constitu
tion of the United States by solemn vote, under the
forms oflaw, in solemn convention.- And not only that,
but they took arms in. their hands and undertook by
force to rend from under the Constitution what seemed
to them the faiiest portion iof the heritage which ray
fathers had given to me and to my children as a rich le
gacy : and when they did that I concluded, from every
fact, that they had derogated and forfeited every consti
tutional right, and had relieved me of every constitu
tional obligation to them. [Loud and continued ap
plause.] And when I was called upon to say what
should be my action in regard to slavery, I was left to
tlie natural instincts of my heart, as prompted by a Chris- .
tian education in" New England—rApplause]—and .I
dealt with it accordingly, for I was no longer bound by ,
constitutional obligations. [Applause.] Then I under
take to claim, respectfully, but earnestly, jbat the same
sense of duty to my constitutional obligations, and to the
rights of the States, which require me, so long as they
remain loyal, to support the system of slavery—that
same sense of duty and of right; T say, after they had
gone out from under the ConttHution, caused me to fol
low the dictates of my own conscience, untrammelled
ss I had been heretofore. [Applause.] And so, my
friends, however misjudging I may have been—and I
speak to my old Democratic fiiends—l claim that we
went along step by step together up to that point, and
we shall still go along step by step. If the sacred obli
gations that bound us together had not been broken, I
would not thus have been left to follow the dictates of
God’s law and ofhumanity. [Loud applause ]
: THE UNION—BUT NOT AS IT WAS.
And now, my friends, I do not know but that I shall
commit some heresy; blit as a Democrat, and as an Au
drew Jackson Democrat, : I say that 1 am not for the
Union as it was. [Loud cheers. ] I have the honor to
say,' as a Democrat, and an Andrew Jackson Democrat,
that lam not far the Union to he again as it was. Un
derstand me. I was fortheUnion as it was, because I
saw, or thought 1 saw, in the future the troubles which
have hurst upon us? but, having undergone those trou
bles, having spent all the blood and treasure, I do not
like to go .back again and be ‘‘cheek by. Jowl” as.we
Were before with South. Carolina, if I can help it.
[Cheers. ] Let no man misunderstand me? and I repeat
it, lest it might be misunderstood, I do not mean to give
up a single inch of the soil of South Carolina. If I had
been alive at that time, and had the position and the
ability, I would have dealt with South Carolina as Jack
son did, and.kept her in.at all hazards. Butnow&he
has gone out? and I will take care that when she comes
in again she will come in better behaved. [Laughteraud
eheers. ] I will take care that she shall be no longer the
firebrand of the .Union? ay, that she shall enjoy, what
her people never yet have enjoyed, theblessings of a re
publican form of government. [Cheers. ] Therefore, in
tha.tview, lam not for the reconstruction of the Union
beiliei'r Itr was good enough if it had - been-
The old house vjas good enough for me; hut as they
■have milled down the earli/ 'parts I 'propose, whernoe
rebuild it+to build it vrpvnth all the madei'n improve
nteiiis. [Enthusiastic applause.] .
CONFISCATION AND-COLONIZATION.
The Israelites took possession of the land of Canaan,
which they got from alien enemies. Hasit not been held:
from the beginning of the world down io. this day that
the whole property of alien enemies belongs to the con
queror, and that it. is at his mercy and at his clemency
what shall be done •with it ?. For one, I would takbdhe
property of the rebels and give part of it to. the loyal *,
man at the South,, enough to make lam as well,' dr as
nearly well, as he was before ? and I would take- tkei
rest of it and distribute it among the volunteer-soldiers
who have gone to .support the Government. [Bravo,
bravo. ] And. so far as I know tlieaa, if we shall settle
South Carolina with, them,.: I shall be quite'willing to
receive, her.back into the Union in. the course ot-'&few
years. [Applause. 1'
' WHAT SHALL BE DONE WITH THE SLAVES-?-
- That leads us to deal with another proposition—what
shall be.done.with the slaves Z Here, again, tke-laws of
war, dealing with, that species of-property,.hfuve- long .
since settled themselves with clearness and.exactness.
It is at the band of'the conqueror—of the Government
which has maintained or extended its jurisdiction over,
the territory—to deal with those slaves as it pleases; to
free them or not, as tliat Govemment chooses,. >" It is not •
for the conque2ed to make terms, or to send their-friends
to make terras on that question. [Laughter and ap
plause.] Another difficultywhich seems toAroublesorae
of my old Democratic friends is the question of arming
the negro slaves.lf these- Confederate Sfc&tes'are alien'
.enemies, is there any objection ' that you. knosr of—and
if so, shite it—to armingoneportion of thatforeign coun
try aga.i ust the other?* [No.'uo.O Suppose we were at
wav with England, who here would get up-in New York
and say w.e must not arm the Irish, lest: they should,
hurt somebody ? [Laughter and applause]] Again:
there is no law,either of war, or of nations, Or of'go
vernraental action, that I'know of which-prevents a
country arming any portiou of its citizens or iijf subjects
for the defence of that portion or of any ocher? *=
WILL THE NEGROES EIGHT ? V
There is one question which I p.m, very-often asked,
and I will answer it here once for ail—will the negroes
fight? On that subject I have no personal experience,
because I left the Department of the-Snlf before they were
fairly brought into action. But they did fight under
Jackson at Chalmette. Let Napoleon 111. answer it, who'
has hired them to do what the veterans of the Crimea
could not .do—whip the Mexicans, [Laughter.] Let
the veterans of Napoleon 1.,' who, under his brother-in
law Le Clerc, where whipped out of St. Domingo.by
them, say whether they will fight or not. [Applause.]
What has been'the demoralizing effect on them of con
tact with the white man I know not; but I cannot-forget
that they and their fathers would not have been slaves .
il they.had not been captiveaof war in their own. country, :
: made so in hand-to-hand fights among the several chiefs.
That shows that they would fight at some time. If you
want to know any more about it I can only advise you
to try them.
' HIS RULE IN NEW ORLEANS.
When I left the Department of the Gulf 1 sat down and
deliberately putin the form of an ■ address to the people
of that department the executive acts I had done, and I
said to them, “ you know I have douothese things. 5 ’ I
have now waited mure than three months, and i have
yet to hear a denial from that department that these
things were done. 1 [Cheers.] To.thaf 1 can point as a
justification of your (the Mayor’s 1 too Haltering eulogy, •
and as an answer to every- slander. and every calumny
uttered against me. The ladies of New Orleans know
. whether they were safe under my administration of the
government of that city. Has anyone of them ever said
she was not? The men of New Orleans know whether
life and property were safe. Has any man ever said they
were not ? The poor of New Orleans know whether they
ivereftd upon the -moans taken from the rich rebels.
Has any man denied that? [Cheers.] To that record I.
point. It may be the ouly answer that I shall over
make to the calumnies that have been uttered against
nie and inine. [Cheers.]
PROGRESS OF OUR ARMS.
I desire to' say a single word on another subject—on
what are the prospects of this war. It will do you no
good to give my opinion, simply because it would he very
’mush like the opinion of another man; but I will show.
you.a reason for the faith that is in me that this war is :
progressing to a successful termination. Compare the
■state of the country as it was on, the lst of January, 1863,
with its state on the Ist of January,. 1862, and tell me if
progress has not been made?- On thelst of January, ISS2,
.the Union arms’ held no considerable portion of Missis
sippi; no considerable portion of Kentucky, no consider
able portiou of Tennessee; none of Virginia, except
Fortress Monroe.and Arlington Heights; noneofNorth
Carolina, except Hatteras; none of South Carolina, ex
cept Port Royal. . All the rest was ground in struggle at -
least, and was regularly furnishing supplies to the
rebels. Now the rebels-hold none of Missouri, none of
Kentucky; none of Tennessee tor-any valuable purposes
of supplies, because the western, part is in our. hands,
and the eastern part has been so overrun by contending
armies that all-its supplies' have "been-exhausted.
They hold.no portion of Virginia valuable for supplies,
and that is not eaten out by thoir armies- We hold one
third of Virginia and one-half of North Carolina. We
hold our own In South Carolina, and I hope that we
shall, befoi*e the 31th of this month, hold a little more.
[Enthusiastic cheering.] We hold two-thirds of Louisiana
in point of,wealth and population. We hold all Arkan
sas and Texas, so far as supplies are concerned, so long
aB Admiral Farragut is between Port Hudson and Vicks
burg. [Applause. ] And I believe the colored troops
hold Florida by last accounts. [Laughter and applause. ]
Now let us see to wliat the rebellion has been reduced.
• To the remainder of Virginia, a part of North Carolina,
thelargestpaitof South Carolina,aU Georgia, Alabama,
and a small portion of Louisiana and Ten
nessee—Texas being,as 1-said before, cutoff. Now we
draw strong hope from this, as the rebel supplies came
principally either from Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri,
Arkansas, or Texas,, and these sources are now com
paratively beyond their reach, v-
To this fact I look largely for the suppression of the
rebel lion and the over-throw of revolution. They have
come to tho end of thoir conscription; wo have not be
gun ours. [Laughter.] They have’eome t.> the cndT of
their national credit; we have not put ours in any mar
ket'of the world. XApplauso. ] And why should any
man he disappointed V Why should any man say that
this great-work has gone along too slow? Why should
any inan feel impatient ? I have shared in that impa
tience myself, and was saying to a friend but the other
day, when I saw that our navy did notcatchthe steamor
Alabama, thaisthere must bo something wrong in the
Navy Department; but I was reminded how Paul Jones,
with a single vessel, set the whole navy of England at
defiance, and worked his will.upon the English, coast,
and that Lord Cochrane, with a single , ship, kept the
whole French, coast in terror against the entire French
navy.
. LORD LYONS AND THE POLITICIANS.
He would not charge that the English minister had
been- tampering with our leading politicians, but our
leading politicians had been tampering with him.. When
he saw that tlio other day every. drop of blood in his
veins boiled, and he should like then to.have seen any
of those leading politicians. [Laughter.] What kind
of politicians, were they? - ’[Voices —‘ Copperheads,
•* ‘ traitors, ” * ‘ conservative politicians. Laughter. ]
They could not be Democratic politicians. Now, he
*would like to hear Andrew. Jackson say a few words to
such politicians who now. call themselves Democrats.
[A voice—He would hang them. ]No,he would not have
the opportunity; he could not catch them. : [Loud laugh
ter.] He described these men as ‘descendants iu a direct
line of Judas' Iscariot, intermarried with Benedict Ar
-nold. [Applause, and cries of “ Booby Brooks,” “Fer
nando Wood,” &c.. A voico—Ho knows them .all.
Laughter.] .
, Be understood that there was a man in New York
who professed not.-to know the meaning of the? word

stand for hkr Release.— 'J?fcfe rereefit capture >. ll
the English steamer lifcciy to prove a -
matter for the two Governments' to 1 settle by di
plomacy. Captain Jarman, oft&fe Feterhoff; has
already addressed a note to Lors ? £*yoG& upon the
subject? and his lordship has dircbledtSafr inquiry
Remade into the particulars of the’capturcV Itis
the* general opinion that Admiral Wilkerhßtf com
. mittea another grave mistake in attesting: acd de
taining this steamer. Captain Jarman states theft the
Feterhoff cleared' from London, witlrariaseorted
cargo}* bound for Matamoros ; that at PlVmoxiH'he
was joined by a gentleman, a passenger, whom he'trad
not previously known, but whom be understood toffie*-
acitizcn of the Southern Confederacy. The'PeterXofif
being somewhat weatherbound, the SoutlSbrii
tleman grew impatient, and left the Bhi7« ; at Fal
mouth, forfeiting his passage money, and saying lie*
thought he'could get out by a more expeditious
route to thin nbuntry; The Peterhoff arrived at* St.
Thomaß onolte 30th of February, and was over
hauled, wheir&near that port, by the United states '
papers examined and prO-
ship allowed to proceed'.
On the went on shore, and de- :
livertd «hMjpajier3i'-.to therßritish consul, who pro-'"
nounced them correct', and returned them so ez* : -
doreed on the24th. The vessel coaled atst.
and’ left the* harbor at noon under sail, the engincM
having broke down. When a few miles out she met
the Vanderbilt, bound’in, the latter allowing her to
pass, as the United States steamship Alabama had
overhauled anil pronounced her correct. _A few mo
ments afterwards, however, the Vanderbilt was sig
nalized by Admiral Willies, and, turning back, over
hauled the Peterhoff„ and sent an officer on board,
who demanded to see the Bhip’s papers. Captain
Jarman produced them, andy'as he says, the officer
turned them over carelessly, not making the exami
nation bo minutely as he h»d supposed he would,
and left the cabin saying that the papers were not in
due form. Captain Jarman-inquired where they
were wrong, and was informed that they were not
properly certified by the consul at St. Thomas. He
then requested the officer to step back and he would
show him, where the consul had endorsed them; but
as the official was already over the ship’s side, he
said he would return to the Vanderbilt and report.
Upon the report of thiß officer the prize crew were
sent on board and a formal demand made that the
ship’s papers should be given up, to be carried on
board the flagship. Captain Jarman refused to al
low, them to be taken out of the-.vesselj and the
prize master then took possession of the ship in the
name of the United States, and brought her to New
York,
it 3s Bald-that'Lord Lyons will make a formal
demand upon the Government for the release of the
vessel, and that the owners, Messrs. Pile, Spence,
& Co., Cowper’s court, Cornhill, London, will claim
indemnity for damage, illegal arrest, and unwar
rantable detention. The mail of the Feterhoffiß in
the hands ef the Prize Commissioners, and may,
when overhauled, make some disclosures. The
cargo of the vessel is an assorted one, and, if not
intended for the rebels, is certainly just what they
stand in need of, there being among the rest a large
Quantity of quinine. The baggage and personal
effects of the officers and passengers were yesterday
overhauled and afterwards delivered to their owners,
nothing of a contraband character having been dis
covered. — N. Y. Herald.

Patriotism versus Politicalism.—
Many men wlio are not patriots are politicians.
They are of argumentative minds. They deal in
pros and cons; they dilate facts, and sift fancies. Pa
triotism and politicalisin'-sometimes run full tilt
against each other. In no time has this been more
prominent than in that just past,* in no time proba
bly will it be more than in that just at
hand. The man who is only a politician lovee
but his party. The patriot clasps his country in
the arms of his love, and gazes into her eyes with
looks of riveted devotedness. The era of the pre
sent day has brought the patriotic and political
proclivities of all to a head. Every man’s prin
ciple or want of principle is recognized, and is re
quired to be recognized. By no methods have
such proclivities been more immediately;developed
than by those methods adopted for the suppression
of rebellion and the perpetuation, of the Union.'
The new national conscription act concerns every
body. Impartiality breathes through it. Justice,
in its provisions, iB meted out with perfect fairness.
The definitions and limitations are precise and accu
rate. No class is favored. The glory which has
hallowed the brow of America in the past, will
gleam yet more resplendently in the future.
Conscription acts are necessities. The perfectness
of their provisions, the equality of their dispensa
tions, are in this case a cause for the nation’s self
gratulation. If harmony is ever to- be restored, if
perfect peace is ever again to hold unquestionable
sway, it will only be when every • heart beats with
the blood of loyalty, and when each heart inspires
each hand to spill- the blood of treason. -.

The Recent Acoibent .on .the Phila
delphia and Baltimouk RAiLitoAp..-r-The acci
dent which occurred on the Philadelphia and Balti
more Railroad, on Wednesday morning .last, at four
o’clock, waß somewhat singular, andj. strange to
relate, not a single .person was'injured to any extent.
It seems that the Adams’.Express Company’s car
having been too heavily laden with..merchandise,
had broken down while under a speed of thirty miles
an hour. At the moment of contactwith the sleep
ers, the engine and tender were .released and sped bn
out of harm’s way. The express car/was. instantly
torn into fragments and: with . its contents—iron
safes, hexes ol delicacies for the soldiers, poultry, a
full assortment of millinery, thejatesk spring fash
ions, mutton, cologne, bologna .sausagei, hair oil,
butter, hair brushes and. combs, Dutch bread, gold
watches and jewelry, eggs, and a thousand..other ar
ticles were scattered on either side of the track for
; fifty yards. The baggage car next followed, and the :
. crates were badly broken. TheinaU-cdr was smashed
in at both ends, turned completely around, and left at
an angle of 45°, one end in tbc.ditchand the other on
top ot tHe first passenger car. The smoking and re
freshment car, containing twenty-five persons, was
thrown from the track, its front part driven into the
bank on the left of the track,andlts rear acting as
a terrific break, which., thus stopped the passenger
cars, and undoubtedly saving many lives/ ; Strange
to relate, and notwithstanding the smoking car was
made a complete wreck, its front and right side en
tirely carried away, the mail , car, containing four
persons, also broken up, and. the forward part of the
first passenger car crushed in, bysome almost mi
raculous interposition of Providence, not a person
was killed or e\en severely wounded v: There were
many hair-breadth escapes. The special mail agent
was lying asleep, An’ six. leather, bags containing
twenty mmions of bound for the United
States Treasury, and was .thrown violently from side
to side of the apartment, and landing, as he ex
preseed it, “after a flight of. several„nunutes’ du
ration,” severely bruised. The agent of Adfftns’
Express Company was fortunately prevented from
occupying his car in consequence of: the great quan
tity of freight. Thus his life was saved.. An indi
vidual sleeping in the. forward end of the smoking
car awakened in two feet of ice-cold water in the
ditch.
Another Steadier en Route eob Poet
Royal, —The steamer Massachusetts sails this
morning for Port Royal. Commodore Stribling, the
commandant of the navy yard,.has-issued' the edict
that she will haul off* from the wharf at noon. It is
astonishing how much comfort, which might be ad
ministered to our. sdidiers and sailors, is lost because
of ignorance of the facilities of communication fur
nished by Government. It is late to say this on the
very morning when the Massachusetts sails, but
though the reform which might well take place will
not be exhibited now,, yet, if these few words will
have been the cause of one more package going down
in the future, we shall have been paid for the trou
ble of penning them. Transports leave New York
every day or so, and many a mail boat enters Port
Royal harbor without any considerable mail on ac
count of failure to have its hour of sailing adver
tised. v

as cotfnselfor the'Commonwealth. The-following evi
dence was adduced;
Edward Carlin (detective, who made the arrest), —On
Wednesday afternoon, ahout four o’clock, a telegraphic
despatch was received at this office announcing an at

saloons, but could not find tho parties; proceeded to New
York, and at half past 5 o’clock yesterday afternoon,
met them (prismersX on Broadway street; followed
them until they got near Canal street, where they were
taken into custody; I entered into conversation with
th.emt but they reiused to say anything until they had
jbasc£r*ained whether the woman was alive or- dead; I
Stfftfirfe&them upon my honor that she was alive when I
Wit Philadelphia, and was likely to recover; they then,
"entered freely into.conversation; l asked them why they
had treated the woman as'thev did? they replied they
did not intend to kill her, but wanted to make a sure
thing of the robbery; they made full confession of It; I
was accompanied by a Air Smith to New York who
knew the parties well; he was in their company when I
met them. • •
The prisoners said they did'nofc desire to ask the wit
nesses any questions.
: Frederick C. Smith sworn.—l went to NewiYork with
Officer Carlin; l knew the prisoners before; I met them,
on Broadway; was with them when they were arrested
on last Sunday night; they told me that old Mi*. Mulder
was at their house a little tight, and talked about having
some gold; they called me out of acigar shop, and made
a proposition to get it, and they wanted me to go in with
them on shares; they made several proposition;, but the
best one was to enter the house ihat night and take it; I
went away,and cid not go with, them; before they were
arrested in New York I had some conversation with,
them about the i*obbery;. the youngest one (Peter) said,
they only made about $5O apiece; they knew that I knew
all about it, and therefore they talked freely with me. I
was in' company with them half an hour before they
wore arrested.
The prisoners did not wish to answer any questions.
Benjamin Levy sworn.—ln company with Sergeant
Brodie, went to the house and obtained a knowledge of
what was lost; yesterday recovered these things—[here

where it had been broken open with a hatchet; this box
was always kept in the bureau in the front room.
Frederick Moester sworn. —This witness resides next
door to Mr. Mulder; he is the one who liberated Mrs.
Mulder from her perilous condition. About half past
12 o’clock he laid himself down upon a settee in the mid
dle room, and heard a groan coming from the next
house; he'called his wife’s attention to it; she found the
front door of the houselocked; then she got a step-lad
der, went over the fence, and discovered Mrs. M on the
floor as if she was dead. - Neighbors, police, and phys>

with her hands behind herhead; her leas were tied; <l
pillow case was put over her mouth , and a ""Sheet was
icroppf.d around her neck and head and then tied m a

This is the gisfc.of the evidence, which is apainfully

The defendants were committed to answer the charge
oflarceuy of certain property of John Mulder, larceny of
property of Harriet Mulder, and strangling Wilhelmina
